Our take
The Mad Hatter Hotel, Southwark combines character and comfort: a traditional Victorian pub in a former hat factory, plush contemporary rooms, a restaurant and bar, and a pet-friendly, family-oriented policy, a short walk from Tate Modern. An 8.8 score from 1,708 reviews is excellent for a three-star. I recommend it for a London stay with personality; light sleepers should ask for a room away from the pub.
- Take advantage of the hotel's pet-friendly policy if you're travelling with your furry companion.
- Explore the local area on foot; Tate Modern and other South Bank sights are very close.
- Enjoy a meal or a drink at the hotel's restaurant and bar for a convenient and authentic pub experience.
